Delicate Dahlias with Poppin’ Pastels technique

August 12, 2021

This weekend I'm holding a technique class and this is one of the cards we're making. It features our new Soft Pastels and the Poppin' Pastel technique.

Save

The stamps are from the Delicate Dahlias set that is currently free with a $100 order. It's a beautiful 2-step, photopolymer set that's also Dystinktive. This means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking; a process Stampin' Up! has created.

The outline images are stamped with Black Memento ink and the inside is colored with our new Soft Pastel chalks seen on page 126 or here in my store.

Tip: scrape off a bit of the chalk and use the powder. You'll achieve brighter colors.

You need Versamark ink for the solid stamped image. Next you add the chalk to the Versamark stamped image with sponge daubers. I daubed most of the color on but rubbed it in the center of the flower for a darker hue. The leaves are fussy cut and added separately.

I have a few of these wood textures guy card kits left in my shop. They're filled with wood accents and textures.

Save

I started with a Paper Pumpkin kit from last year and jazzed it up with extra cards, envelopes and layers.

It features 12 cards with envelopes all with woodgrain paper patterns. It includes pre-cut cards, Linen Thread and all the elements you see here. You'll need a few inks, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut a few card bases down.

Reserve yours soon; I have a limited quantity of these!

The PDF tutorial will be send to you immediately after purchase. The card kit will be sent a few days afterwards, unless it's combined with an April kit. Then they'll ship out together at the end of April.

Here's a link to the kit; it's $30 plus shipping. Combine it with any other kit and save on shipping costs!

Heads up! Card stock prices are rising in the upcoming 2025-26 Annual Catalog

April 8, 2025

Everything seems to be rising in cost these days and unfortunately Stampin' Up! is experiencing this as well. Mill prices have risen quite a bit so the price for our solid core card stock is going up in the new 2025 Annual Catalog.

I know it's upsetting to hear this but it is understandable. I want Stampin' Up! to stay in business and continue to offer us high quality card stock & other products. Solid core CS does cost more than white core to produce and many mills do not produce it. Our card stock is among the best in the paper crafting world!

Save

So my advice to you is to stock up on your favorite colors or any that you use a lot. The price change goes into effect in early May. Here's a link to our beautiful card stock.

Luckily this is the only thing that we'll see a major price change in the upcoming new catalog. Yay! It's easy to be negative about this but I have complete faith that Stampin' Up! does their best to keep prices as low as possible for us.

I used the card base and the stamp set but added a few other items such as:

Perennial Postage die-cut that I sponged the edges on

a Mossy Meadow layer
Adhesive-Backed Metallic gems
